Opportunities for self development

(Ese)

It is important to find opportunities for self development,when working towards a brief for a client. Development is needed in order to help fulfil the desires of the brief and create a successful product. This is because a range of different skills are needed during production. If the production team is aware of the skills in which they lack, finding opportunities to improve these skills will further help the production of the product. Self-development isn't just beneficial for the production of a product. The skills developed during the project,can also help individuals during future projects. These skills can range from communication skills to technical skills in producing the product. For example, The original consultation with the client required us as a group to have communication and negotiating skills in order to work towards a brief with the client. Also another skill that was very important was to be creative and generate ideas that suited the desires of the client.

Whilst working to a brief, all members of the group are capable to learn new skills. For self development, one skill can be communication because in order to get everything completed in time, my group and I have to communicate. Another skill could be development because when it comes to actually generating ideas and producing the product, we have to go in to the development stage to get our final product.

New Skills

New Skills are essential when it comes to working in a breif this is because it allows the person working to the brief to to add more experiences to their skill set making them more of an asset to the next brief that the individual works on.   

New skills are needed in order be able to adapt order when it comes to writing about new skills that i have acquired it can be things such as communication skills for example when it comes to negotiating with a client you need to know what you are talking about and most of all you need to be persuasive in order to convince the client to change his specifications.

For example as a director some of the skills that need to be present is the ability to be creative and come up with ideas. This is incredibly essential because without and ideas it would be impossible for any ideas to transpire.

Another skill that need to be present is the skill to communicate with your team members clearly and efficiently. This is vital as a successful team is a team that is able to discuss any areas of the idea that may need to be made clear again , or even revised. I am able to communicate effectively therefore making me a asset to my team.

Eunice
A wide number of new skills can be gained such as working with a client, animation, stop motion and communication, the reason for this is because of when we had to negotiate and also pitch to the client, communication is key in order to get our ideas across.

Multi-skilling

(kenny)

When it comes to multi-skilling there are many skills that have to be used for example when talking or negotiating the brief with the client you need to have preparation skills, communication skills and you need to have knowledge of the concept of the product for example we have knowledge of the college because we attend everyday, so with that we can get a feel of what life is like at CTK. Multi-skilling is very important because it means that everyone has more than one acquired skill which is versatile for the group. The is because if a group member is absent from production his/her role is needed in completing the brief, so by having access to a multiple of skills it allows the group to be more flexible in situations where group members are absent. For example we as a group all had to acquire certain skills that prepared us for situations like this:

• Editing on final cut & after effects
• Being able to do stop motion
• Being able to use a camera

Eunice
With multi skilling, there are a number of abilities that must be utilized, for example when talking or arranging the brief with the client a certain number of skills are required, such as negotiation and communication and most importantly a clear vision of the idea so that we are able to tell the client our initial vision.

Contributions to the product Brief(jordan)

When working towards a brief in order to achieve success, contribution is needed. For example every member in the team needs to play their specific role because if not there will be errors and it will create a dysfunctional team with poor communication.  when it comes to my contribution i have applied a lot of time because as an assistant producer and a director of Photography i have to work closely with the client and the team's director so we can work to their individual specifications.

Eunice
With contributions to the product brief, I have the role as a producer, where I am in charge of recces, risk assessment, kit booking, and also overseeing the production. Contribution is very essential because every member of the group has to contribute their assigned sections or pieces of work.
